Special Report
Honoring Native American Heritage
One of the highlights at this year’s 84th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis included celebrating the Native American Heritage. The ceremony recognized the rich ancestry and traditions of Native Americans, especially those involved in FFA. Chief Earl Old Person of the Blackfoot Nation in Montana tells Brownfield how Native Americans were instrumental in the beginnings of agriculture. Person, a former FFA member in the 1940’s says he hopes last week’s ceremony during the convention helps tell the story of the Native American culture and how they want to continue to be involved with the National FFA Organization.
